| Pre-flight drinks are always a must! |
- Visit my brother and help him move into his new place
- Celebrate Drew & Mary’s wedding
- Have lots of fun outdoors in cooler, drier air
We ran along the river for 30 minutes and thanks to the thin air, it felt like over an hour. Plus you can’t avoid hills and inclines which made it feel even harder. I’m so glad we did it though. The scenery is beautiful and I can say that I did my first marathon training run up in Colorado.
After the river and lunch, we walked over to the Coors Brewery. Since we did the tour last time we were in Golden, we skipped the nonsense and went straight to the part that everyone is there for anyway. Free beer! Luckily for me, the Coors Lab is now offering their cider as of the free sample selections. So I actually got to participate this time.
A few drinks later we were back at Ben’s house prepping for Drew and Mary’s wedding. We had to leave by 4:00pm since it was about an hour away, and good thing we left early because the traffic was ridiculous.
However, the wedding was far from ridiculous. It was absolutely beautiful. Very rustic and country chic at a huge ranch in Larkspur, CO. The sun was shining and there was a perfect breeze for the ceremony. The wedding decor was adorable with tree stumps, burlap, mason jars, mini bunt cakes and popcorn for everyone to enjoy at the end! We got to see some of our friends from college that are living all over the country…and the ones from Houston too 🙂
We eventually made it back to Ben’s after the wedding, but it wasn’t until about 2am. One of the buses at the wedding {chartering guests from the hotel to the wedding and back} broke down. Good thing JP and I had Ben’s truck and we were able to get a few of our friends back safe and sound!
Sunday was a lazy morning after a late night. It involved another walk along the river and coffee before heading into Denver for brunch with Matt and Maddie, two college friends living up in Denver {we saw them at the wedding as well!}. We went to a place called Syrup and if you are ever there, please try their peanut butter and jelly butter. Yes, it tastes just like PB&J and you can spread it on your pancakes with some blackberry syrup and you’re in Heaven. No lies. I’m pretty sure that my Heaven will have some PB&J butter with pancakes…
Next thing you know it was time for us to go to the airport! It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but worth every second. I love Colorado and I’m already counting the days until we get to go back! {Just 9 1/2 months! Seriously…another wedding and my bro’s graduation!} Don’t miss me too much Denver…I’ll be back!
